How to force a derived class implement a grandparent method
time to read 2 min | 246 words
I just found out how to force a derived class to implement a method defined in the grandparent class. It's probably a contender to WTF, but here is the reasoning for doing such a strage thing. I've an abstract class which I'm using as a base class for several strategies. I want to make sure that I don't have duplicate strategies, so I want all my strategies to implement Equals(). The code is simple:
public abstract class BaseStrategyThatForceEquals
{
public override abstract Equals(object o);
}
{
public override abstract Equals(object o);
}
Define an abstract class which override Equals as an abstract method.
Spooky, but useful.
